    Happens all the time. Either someone entered it wrong, or from time to time, manufacturers change recipes and the nutritional info changes.

    Either search manually for another entry that is correct, or add your own entry.

    What's really fun is scanning something and having it come up as a completely different product! :tongue: I've had that happen several times!

    Yesterday when I scanned something, not only was the nutritional value wrong, but the BRAND was wrong too. LOL...

    Yea, give it a try. Sometimes I manually search for things instead of scanning. Granted some of the items listed might be put in wrong so you might have to do it a few times to find the correct one.

    Did you try a factory reset on your phone? That usually works for me, if not you may need to upgrade your phone
